The one in-one out deal being worked out between the EU and Turkey is testament to the political vacuum we live in. By subcontracting its border management to Ankara’s increasingly authoritarian regime, the European Union is insulting its own values. In doing so, it violates the rights of asylum seekers under international law by undermining the principle of non-refoulement, ignores its duty to condemn Turkey’s increasingly inexcusable human rights record, and gives Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan unprecedented leverage over EU policymaking.
